VII. ADJOURNMENT
A
Good
good
evening,
everyone
welcome
to
the
august
10th
meeting
of
your
aiken
city
council,
we're
going
to
open,
as
we
always
do,
with
our
invocation
and
our
pledge
of
allegiance,
and
I'm
going
to
recognize
this
cave
roll.
If
she
would
for
our
prayer
and
then
I'm
going
to
ask
our
chief
if
he'd
be
willing
to
lead
us
in
our
pledge
afterwards.
So
if
you're
so
inclined,
please
feel
free
to
stand.
E
A
A
B
A
Running
and
and
giving
everyone
a
fair
opportunity
to
speak
on
some
tough
issues
and
certainly
appreciate
that
and
I'd
like
an
opportunity
just
to
say
thank
you
to
our
friends,
staff
and
council
members,
but
also
an
amazing
number
of
citizens.
Many
of
you
here
who
dropped
notes.
As
many
of
you
know,
I've
ended
up
diagnosed
or
positive
for
covid
and
what
a
wonderful
city
it
is
that
people
care
they
write
a
note.
They
check
on
you
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
a
to
a
wonderful
city.
A
I
am
glad
to
be
back.
Thank
you
for
that.
Our
guidelines
for
our
aiken
city,
council
meetings,
meetings
or
public
forums
in
which
many
opinions
are
expressed
in
the
business
of
the
city
must
be
conducted
as
such.
Disciplined
honorable
and
professional
decorum
is
paramount.
Courteous
and
respectful
communication
is
expected
during
public
hearings.
All
questions
and
statements
from
the
public
shall
be
directed
to
the
chair.
A
If
you
wish
to
speak,
if
you'll
raise
your
hand,
I
will
certainly
recognize
you
if
you're
recognized,
please
approach
the
podium
and
state
your
name
and
address
in
order
to
allow
an
opportunity
for
everyone
who
wishes
to
address
counsel.
Speakers
should
limit
their
comments
to
the
subject
being
discussed.
A
Each
speaker
will
be
given
five
minutes
to
address
an
issue
and
may
only
address
an
issue
once
unless
questions
from
counsel
are
posed
to
the
speaker-
and
we
appreciate
that
so
much
for
your
for
your
willingness
to
be
here
today
and
be
a
part
of
our
meetings
and
give
us
information.
So
we
can
make
more
informed
and
better
decisions
with
that.
I'd
like
to
recognize
our
mayor
pro
tim
for
additions
or
deletions
to
the
agenda.
A
A
A
A
A
A
We
now
move
down
to
presentations
and
I
would
like
to
ask,
I
think,
judge
is
going
to
come
up
first
judge
dangler,
who
is
now
the
current
chair,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
folks
here
who
have
worked
very
hard
to
make
our
citizen
review
board
the
the
success
it
is
in
our
community
and
the
model
that
a
lot
of
cities
around
the
southeast
have
reached
out
to
us
to
to
to
look
at
this
model,
so
judge.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
I
turned
the
floor
over
to
you.
G
A
G
Okay,
I'll
stay
away
from
the
microphone.
According
to
what
I
read
here
well
good
evening,
my
name
is
judge
john
dangler
and
I
have
the
honor
moment
to
be
the
chairman
of
our
aiken
citizens
review
board.
How
I
wanted
to
present
this
evening
was
just
a
little
bit
of
my
background.
We're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
goals
and
objectives
of
the
citizens
review
board
some
current
statistics.
G
We
have
our
vice
chair.
We
actually
have
all
members.
We
have
nine
members
currently
and
they're
all
here
this
evening
after
our
vice
chair
I'll
ask
any
one
of
them
if
they
wish
to
come
up
and
make
a
few
comments
sharing
their
background
and
anything
else,
they
may
wish
to
say
about
the
citizens
review
board.
G
Most
of
my
career
was
in
morris
county
new
jersey
and
for
those
may
or
may
not
be
familiar,
we're
in
the
northern
part
of
the
state
we're
about
35
miles
west
of
new
york
city
population,
about
500
000
in
the
area
about
a
third
the
size
of
aitkin
county
prior
to
being
on
the
superior
court.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
serve
as
the
county
prosecutor
for
that
county.
I
did
that
for
a
number
of
years
I
was
the
chief
law
enforcement
officer
for
39
police
departments
in
the
county.
G
G
G
We
are
committed
to
respect
accountability,
transparency
and
we're
trying
to
ensure
that
there
is
professional
and
accountable
law
enforcement
for
all
of
the
citizens.
We
review
every
case.
Many
people
will
file
a
complaint,
it's
looked
upon
by
the
police
department
and
that's
it
and
there's
nothing
else.
But
our
board
looks
at
every
complaint
because
we
want
to
see.
Is
there
a
pattern
of
conduct
that
troubles
us
that
we
need
to
sit
down
with
the
chief
and
find
out
how
they're
dealing
with
that?
G
G
They're
advised
that
they're
not
satisfied
what
happened.
They
can
file
a
request
for
the
citizens
review
board
to
look
at
their
case.
Before
that
happens,
the
chief
will
assign
that
to
senior
officers
within
the
department,
captains
and
tenants.
They
will
look
at
all
the
video
cam,
the
body
cam
any
information
they
have.
They
talk
to
the
officers
and
they'll
certainly
talk
to
the
person
who
has
brought
the
complaint,
or
sometimes
it's
more
than
one.
G
They
allow
the
citizens
review
board
to
take
another
look
at
it
and
and
see
if
we
agree
or
don't
agree,
there
were
four
cases
out
of
the
18
that
were
filed
in
2019.
The
department
did
find
that
there
was
improper
conduct.
Perhaps
use
of
force
was
inappropriate
and
the
department
dealt
with
those
officers.
Sometimes
the
department
lets
the
officer
go.
He
or
she
is
on
probation.
This
has
been
the
final
straw
and
they're
not
going
to
put
up
with
that
conduct.
G
Sometimes
there
needs
to
be
new
training
for
that
officer
so
that
that
conduct
doesn't
get
repeated
and
we're
advised
of
what
the
department
is
doing
so
far
this
year
in
2020
20
we
have
15
complaints
and
we
have
two
of
those
cases
have
been
sustained
again
that
in
which
those
complaints
were
justified.
Now
those
numbers
have
to
be
looked
the
department,
I
would
guess,
deals
with
thousands
of
cases
every
year.
G
G
It's
been
my
experience,
and
I've
often
said
this
being
a
police
officer
or
fireman
is
one
of
those
only
jobs.
Most
of
you
have
jobs
you're
in
real
estate,
finance,
banking,
whatever
you
do,
you're,
probably
going
to
go
home
the
end
of
that
day
after
your
work
is
done
if
you're
a
policeman
or
fireman.
You
never
are
assured
that
you're
going
home
that
day
and
they
know
that
when
they're
out
there
on
the
road-
and
we
appreciate
the
work
that
they're
doing-
that
really,
in
a
nutshell,
is
what
we're
all
about.
G
H
We
disagree
sometimes
we're
friendly,
though
we
really
like
each
other,
but
we
disagree.
Sometimes
on
things-
and
we
have
some
really
healthy
debates
and
we
all
come
from
a
different
perspective,
and
so
what
it
does
is
it
it
lends
a
lens.
A
a
very
it
casts
a
really
great
light
on
the
specific
issues
that
our
community
might
be
dealing
with
and
ways
that
we
as
a
city
as
community
members
and
even
as
law
enforcement,
because
it's
not
always
law
enforcement,
not
always
a
law
enforcement
issue.
Sometimes
it's
a
mental
health
issue.
H
H
I've
been
the
vice
chair
for
a
couple
of
years
now,
and
I've
been
on
the
board
since
its
inception,
we've
watched
it
develop
and
grow,
and
I
just
really
appreciate
the
fact
that
we
have
not
diminished
our
standing
and
not
diminished
our
our
purpose
for
this
community,
but
that
we
continue
to
press
on
and
do
the
good
work.
We're
not.
H
I
know
aiken's
not
perfect,
but
we're
working
towards
getting
better
and
I
think
that
we
are
lucky
in
aitkin,
as
david
jamieson
says,
we're
lucky
enough
right,
but
we're
lucky
and
blessed
to
be
in
a
city
that
even
cares
to
hear
from
its
people
and
even
listens
and
processes
their
complaints.
So
I
feel
at
a
great
advantage
to
be
a
part
of
this
group
and
did
I
say
you
said
my
first
and
last
name
just
in
case
for
the
record.
H
J
C
K
L
L
L
James
gone
anybody
else,
we
looked
at
a
lot
of
models
for
our
board
and
we
weren't
really
happy
with
them.
We
kind
of
worked
from
scratch.
We
got
all
the
basic
ingredients
and
put
something
together
that
we
thought
was
tailored
for
our
community
and
we
worked
very
hard
at
it.
Jody
not
in
particular,
a
lot
of
them.
L
L
It
helped
the
citizens
that
that
had
a
complaint.
It
also
helped
public
safety.
I
like
the
thing,
helped
them
through
the
process
of
understanding.
Maybe
there
are
some
citizens
who've
been
trained
up
in
this
particular
area
to
to
look
over
what
they've
done-
and
I
hope
the
chief
has
appreciated
that
over
the
years-
that
our
objective
is
to
make
the
relationships
between
the
citizens
and
public
safety
a
better
one.
L
What
I
really
want
to
say,
though,
in
light
of
recent
events
in
this
country
and
in
the
world,
I
am
absolutely
amazed
that
more
communities
do
not
have
some
model
in
place,
and
I
think,
if
that
were
the
case,
we'd
get
rid
of
a
lot
of
the
issues
and
problems
that
we
have.
If
law
enforcement
through
a
board
like
ours,
communicate
and
work
with
citizens,
I
think
it
helped
a
lot.
D
M
N
P
P
I
have
always
been
a
volunteer,
my
entire
life.
Even
when
I
was
working,
I
made
sure
that
both
of
my
daughters
became
volunteers
and
they
are
making
sure
that
their
children
become
volunteers.
I
think
it's
one
of
the
most
important
things
we
do
for
our
community
and
for
other
people
in
the
community.
P
P
C
P
P
It
is
my
home
now,
even
after
15
years,
I
I
started
to
feel
a
little
like
a
native,
and
I
love
it
and
I
do
think
the
work
that
we're
doing
on
this
board
is
extremely
important
and
worthy,
and
everybody
on
this
board
is
outstanding.
All
right,
I'm
probably
the
least
outstanding.
No
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Q
I
am
an
attorney
for
in
the
augusta
law
department.
I
have
been
a
prosecutor
and
a
criminal
defense
attorney,
and
I
am
committed
to
the
work
of
criminal
justice
reform
and
I
am
happy
to
see
that
this
mayor,
the
city
council,
chief
ferranco,
have
been
committed
to
accountability
and
it
is
a
great
board.
I
believe
other
communities
should
model
their
boys
after
this
one
and
it's
something
that
aiken
should
really
be
proud
of,
and
I'm
proud
to
be
a
part
of
it.
So
thank
you.
A
E
R
M
R
My
personal
background,
my
wife
laura-
and
I
moved
here
10
years
ago
from
falls
church
virginia,
which,
as
many
of
you
know,
probably,
is
a
bedroom
community
for
washington
dc.
I
spent
35
years
with
federal
government.
I
was
a
special
agent
with
the
diplomatic
security
service
of
the
u.s
department
of
state.
R
We
had
six
overseas
assignments,
where
I
was
the
chief
law
enforcement
and
security
advisor
to
the
ambassador
at
the
u.s
embassy,
where
we
were,
I
take
my
hat
off
to
chief
and
to
the
city
leaders
and
to
the
citizens
of
aitkin.
I
didn't
know
public
policing
could
be
so
difficult
under
certain
circumstances,
and
I've
learned
a
lot
about
community
policing
and
community
affairs
and
the
relationship
between
people
living
overseas.
A
G
Mr
mayor
and
council,
that
concludes
the
presentation.
We
have
we
weren't
going
to
do
any
powerpoints
and
so
forth.
I
thought
sometimes
we
wanted
you
to
see
the
folks
that
the
diverse
group
that
does
serve
on
this
board.
If
there
are
any
questions
comments,
we
will
certainly
take
them.
We
know
you've
got
a
busy
agenda
so.
A
Judge
I'd
like
to
make
a
comment,
if
I
could
that
from
the
inception
of
this
group
and
and
clark
is
right,
there
were
some
models
of
of
crbs
that
we
were.
We
brought
in
and
looked
at
as
a
group,
and
this
group
said
this
doesn't
fit
aiken
and
I
I'm
gonna
tell
you
the
dedication.
I
know
clark
jody
everybody
who
was
who's
there
on
sticks,
jeffrey
just
the
katrina,
just
just
the
commitment
of
this
board
to
make
sure
that
we
got
it
right.
A
I
mean
it
was.
It
was
amazing
for
me
and
I
would
come
in
and
maybe
get
an
update
here
and
there,
but
it
was.
This
board
was
just
committed
to
making
sure
we
got
it
right
and
you
know
it.
I
I
think
our
citizens
appreciate
it
and
you're
right.
Our
law
enforcement
appreciate,
also
and
and
we're
a
better
city
because
of
the
efforts-
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
your
service,
because
it
it
makes
as
big
a
difference
in
our
city.
C
A
S
A
A
All
right
we'll
consider
that
our
next
meeting-
thank
you,
mr
chairdo,
we're
going
to
move
down
to
new
business.
I'm
number
one.
This
is
a
first
reading
of
an
ordinance
to
approve
a
concept
plan
for
property
located
on
whiskey,
road
between
stratford
drive
and
sizemore
circle.
By
title,
this
is
an
ordinance
approving
the
concept
plan
for
property
located
on
whiskey,
road
between
stratford
drive
and
sizemore
circle.
Is
there
a
motion?
F
S
The
applicant
is
requesting
a
concept
plan
for
11.8
acres
to
be
in
to
be
zoned
plan
commercial,
the
property
sits
on
whiskey,
road
between
stratford
circle
and
stratford.
Excuse
me,
seismo
circle
in
stratford
drive
spring
stone.
Villas
is
the
residential
component
component
of
the
original
concept
plan
that
was
approved
in
2003
the,
since
no
building
permits
have
been
issued
within
five
years
of
the
original
commercial
component,
it
is
has
to
start
over.
S
S
Any
future
development
would
require
revised
concept
plan
for
review
by
the
planning,
commission
and
city
council
this
propos.
This
proposal
pertains
only
to
about
two
and
three
quarters
acres
of
the
parcel
with
a
lulu's
car
wash
that
will
be
similar
to
the
other
locations
in
the
area.
We
have
one
on
richland
avenue
west
near
the
walmart
and
one
on
east
pinelog,
road.
S
The
developer
proposes
a
35-foot
wooded
buffer
along
stratford
whiskey
in
sizemore
circle,
with
a
40-foot
buffer
proposed
along
the
western
side
of
the
property
which
is
adjacent
to
the
springstone
villas,
along
with
a
42-foot
right-of-way,
with
three
access
points,
a
ride
in
right
out
only
on
whiskey
road
in
in
somewhat
near
the
center
of
the
property.
One
access
on
stratford
drive
with
full
movement,
turning
movement
and
one
on
size,
more
circled
with
full
turning
movement.
S
S
S
It
was
unanimous
by
those
present.
There
were
two
members
absent
to
recommend
the
following
approval
with
the
following
conditions:
that
I'll
read
into
the
record
here
at
first
reading:
number
one
that
the
development
comply
with
the
landscaping
tree;
preservation,
open
space
and
buffer
requirements
of
the
zoning
ordinance
number
two,
that
the
development
comply
with
the
ldr
whiskey
road
corridor
study
regarding
installation
of
sidewalks
along
whiskey,
road
and
adjoining
streets,
or,
alternatively,
that
the
development
to
pay
a
fee
in
lieu
of
sidewalks
and
street
tree
installation
in
an
amount
is
determined
by
the
city.
S
S
S
Light
for
those
that
it's
similar
to
what
we
have
at
whiskey,
roads
and
silver
bluff
and
price
avenue
next
to
virginia
acres
park
where
at
each
of
the
three
signals,
they
are
split
into
three
different
phases,
unlike
a
traditional
intersection
where
the
east-west
direction
has
right-of-way
and
then
the
north-south,
or
vice
versa.
So
we
have
before
you
tonight
this
ordinance
for
concept
plan
approval
for
the
development
proposed
development
located
here
on
whiskey,
road
between
stratford
drive
and
size,
more
syrup.
S
Absolutely
for
this
type
of
car,
this
type
of
business
is,
is
a
car
wash
type
business,
the
water
is
recirculated
and
recycled,
and
ultimately
it
would
go
into
directly
into
our
sanitary
sewer
system.
It
would
not
go
into
a
storm
water
system
or
be
released
back
into
the
soil
it
would
after
being
recycled.
It
would
ultimately
go
into
the
city,
sewer
system
and
ultimately,
to
the
regional
sewer
plant
for
treatment.
J
A
T
My
name
is
peter
stein
and
I
live
at
100
sessions
drive
and
I'm
currently
the
president
of
the
stratfor
hall,
homeowners
association.
So
thank
you,
council,
people
and
mayor.
Yes,
I
thought
I
was
going
to
get
away
with
not
having
to
wear
or
give
my
name,
because
I
wanted
to
have
people
wonder
who
was
that
last
name.
T
It's
amazing
how
the
presentation
I've
heard
several
times
and
I'm
sure
over
various
times.
My
last
time
being
15
years
ago,
when
I
was
presenting
against
the
curb
cut
for
the
hotel,
the
holiday
inn
and
how
that
was
worked
out
now,
there
appears
to
be
a
consideration
for
even
more
properties
in
that
general
area.
T
Certainly
that
is
a
concern
for
one
of
our
neighbors,
which
is
the
spring
stone
villas.
They
would
be
impacted
greatly
if
that
runoff
impact
it
would
impact
them
anyway.
I
would
like
to
make
some
base
assumptions,
because
there's
been
a
lot
of
conversations
amongst
ourselves,
some
of
our
representatives,
both
state
and
local
and
number
one
lulu's.
The
proposal
has
not
been
approved.
T
T
Three,
the
department
of
transportation
has
a
responsibility
for
sizemore
that
it
is
a
state
road
and
based
on
a
recent
conversation.
The
department
of
transportation
has
no
opinion
on
the
stratford
curb
cut
number
five,
there's
no
current
proposal
to
fix
the
intersection,
which
would
be
a
grave
concern.
If
the
curb
cut
were
to
be
approved.
T
M
A
U
U
U
U
Now
lulu
is
well
aware
of
these
concerns,
but
we're
still
waiting
to
hear
acceptable
solutions.
Tonight.
I
am
really
standing
before
you
on
behalf
of
my
friends
and
my
neighbors,
to
tell
council
to
please
reconsider
the
cut
on
stratford
drive,
you've
heard
from
us
twice
before
the
reasons
that
we
don't
want
it,
I'm
not
going
to
repeat
now.
You
are
well
aware
of
them.
You
heard
them
for
the
hotel
who
worked
with
us.
You
heard
them
from
the
nursing
home
and
although
they
never
ended
up
on
the
property,
they
also
work
with
us.
U
V
Addressed
a
lot
of
the
items
or
told
you
what
was
going
on
with
them,
lulu's
itself
doesn't
really
generate
traffic
to
acquire
a
traffic
study
and
talking
to
some
of
the
engineering
companies
that
come
to
an
old
company,
they
used
to
work
with
southern
partners
and
another
one.
You
know
the
important
thing
I
think
that
dlt
and
the
development
company
would
like
to
address.
V
As
far
as
that
turn
is
concerned,
the
ability
to
use
the
light
that
was
built
there
makes
it
safe
for
people
to
come
out
on
the
whiskey
road
and
turn
left
and
it
without
the
ability
to
do
that.
You
really
kind
of
adversely
affect
the
traveling
public
on
whiskey
road
if
they
come
out.
If
you
have
a
lot
of
other
cars
coming
out
on
whiskey
from
some
other,
you
know
from
the
other
road.
V
V
V
V
A
I
I'd
like
to
ask,
if
you
don't
mind
mark
I
I
know
I've
heard
mentioned
in
just
in
conversation
and
for
obviously
from
our
perspective,
we
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
want
to
leave
things
hanging
in
a
manner
that
well
we
we
asked
for
that,
but
we
didn't
put
it
in.
As
far
as
our
before
we
passed
past,
the
ordinance
we
were
looking
at,
but
I've
heard
I've
heard
mentioned
about
maybe
speed,
speed
bumps
to
keep
people
from
cutting
across
the
two
roads.
A
I
know
mr
jerido
has
talked
about
that
and
that
that's
something
I
guess
is
a
development.
It
would
be
amenable
to
cutting
across
from
stratford
to
what's
called
sizemore
yeah,
so
so
that
I
mean
I
know,
speed
bumps
was
something
that
that
was
was
brought
up
as
a
potential
to
keep
people
from
cutting
across.
C
E
V
J
V
V
M
W
W
W
Susan
wilson
and
I
live
on
228
khaki
court,
and
I
is
there
any
reason
that
the
gas
station
would
have
to
be
40
feet
buffer
from
from
everybody's
backyard.
I
mean
that's
got
to
impact
our
property
values.
I
mean
it's.
These
people
just
bought
into
the
neighborhood.
Our
prices
are
finally
kind
of
coming
online
with
the
rest
of
akin
and
now
40
feet.
That's
like
seven
of
me.
There's
that
noise
and
and
the
lights
that
might
be
up
in
the
evening.
W
C
E
E
E
A
X
X
C
X
Dumps
out
onto
stratford
also,
but
the
the
real
problem
is
actually
when
that
the
the
property
that
lose
is
going
to
be
on
that
whole
segment.
When
it's
split
in
half,
that's
where
the
problem
starts,
the
people
from
that
they
get
their
their
car
washed
have
no
way
to
get
onto
whiskey
going
north,
except
if
there's
a
road
that
they
want
to
put
in
from
whiskey
to
sizemore
circle,
and
then
that
way
they
can
get
through
the
light
in
order
to
you
know,
go
north.
X
X
A
Z
Your
council
folks
good
to
see
you
I'm
jerry
waters.
I
live
in
15
at
1547,
devil
road
in
the
city
limits
of
aiken,
I've
been
a
resident
of
aiken
county.
For
more
years.
Most
of
you
have
been
born,
been
in
the
development
business
a
long
time.
I
I
just
want
to
give
a
little
history
to
to
stratfor
hall.
Z
Z
Was
changing
contractors
and
they
were
they
were
looking
for.
Fifteen
thousand
more
people
and
stratford
hall
was
was
designed
to
be
ingress,
invest
egress
to
woodside,
which,
which
was
was
planned
to
get
a
big
portion
of
these
15
000
people,
plus
stratfor
hall,
was
designed
to
take
care
of
what
you're
now
looking
at
for
lulu's
at
a
much
higher
density
than
lulu's
is
actually
putting
in.
Z
Z
Z
Z
A
Z
A
E
E
I
know
that
back
in
january,
when
this
came
up,
they
didn't
have
any
cut
off
of
whiskey
road,
and
this
is
a
redo
from
january,
and
they
added
in
the
deceleration
lane
in
the
right
out,
coming
in
in
the
middle
of
the
property
and
and
lulu's
is
going
down
there
in
that
southeast
corner
and
going
forward.
One
of
the
complaints
was
there's
no
way
out
of
stratford
hall
in
springstone
on
stratford
drive,
except
through
stratford
drive.
E
So
that's
that's
a
positive,
and
I
understand
what
you're
saying
in
terms
of
you
don't
want
the
curb
cut
that
I
hear
you,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
a
safety
issue
coming
out
to
the
traffic
light
to
turn
left
with
the
traffic
light
is
a
whole
lot
better
than
what
we've
had
in
the
past
in
terms
of
curb
cuts
on
whiskey
road.
So
I
think
it's
a
a
good
plan.
It
just
needs
the
traffic
light.
A
Very
good
and
council
councilman
jaredo,
I
know,
has
worked
with
pete
and
mr
howard
and
some
others
on
on
that,
and
I
I
would.
I
would
just
second
that
I
think
I
know
we've
obviously
engaged
with
scdot
on
on
this,
and
also,
I
think
we
now
have
three
members
of
our
delegation.
State
delegation
between
senator
young,
representative,
bart
blackwell
and
and
even
bill
taylor
yeah
representative,
taylor's
involved.
A
Also
so
you
know
usually
dot
is,
is
pretty
cooperative
when,
when
you
get
the
delegation
involved
with
with
these
issues-
and
I
think
I
think
we're
all
on
the
same
page
as
far
as
far
as
the
split
phase
signalization
and
the
restriping
on
powderhouse
makes
sense,
and
I
I
think
we've
even
got
some
bushes
that
are
in
the
right
of
way
where
the
bp
is
left
that
need
to
come
down
because
of
the
line
of
sight
as
well.
Some
things
happen
in
there,
but
we
will.
A
We
would
certainly
know
more
about
that
before
this
comes
before
us.
I
would,
I
would
assume-
and
I'd
ask
ask
staff
to
try
to
expediate
that.
So
when
we're
looking
at
this
a
second
reading,
we'll
have
some
answers
to
those
those
questions
if
it
makes
a
second
reading.
Obviously,
so
any
other
comments
from
I
know.
AA
AA
AB
Good
evening,
sorry,
I
was
pulling
that
up.
I
was
getting
a
couple
sections
confused,
so
I
was
just
making
sure
so.
The
planned
commercial
district
does
include
ambient
light
standards
for
commercial
development,
so
they
would
shine
and
not
act
yeah,
so
it
it
yeah.
It
essentially
prevents
it.
It
directs
line
like
yeah,
that's
correct
down
and
in
such
a
way
that
it
only
can
spill
over
so
much
from
the
site,
which
is
generally
just
about
the
boundary
of
the
site
before
it
starts
to
dissipate
to
pretty
close
to
moonlight
standard.
Actually,
yeah.
AA
A
AB
Correct
so
that's
for
the
ultimate
build
out
of
the
site.
Eventually.
What
is
that
doing?
Essentially?
So
our
minimum
plan
commercial
standard
is
a
10
foot
buffer
they're,
offering
a
40
foot
buffer
to
the
rear.
So
that's
all
that
would
be
taken
into
account
over
the
long
term
of
the
site
in
the
short
term.
A
AB
Y
AB
I'm
not
sure
we
got
in
to
that
conversation
and
that
that
in
depth
with
them
at
this
point,
as
far
as
which
way
they
would
prefer
to
go
so
the
two
options
are
to
either
install
them
on
their
side
of
the
property.
We
would
make
sure
that
they
would
connect
to
the
corner
so
that
you
could
connect
that
to
another
sidewalk
system
or
if
it
were
to
be
on
dot's
side.
D.O.T
may
not
permit
it,
although
they
make,
they
may
say,
that's
a
reasonable
stretch.
AB
AB
Y
S
It's
being
looked
at
now,
I
don't
believe
we
would
have
a
definitive
answer
by
second
reading,
which
is
two
weeks
from
today.
Should
council
pass
this
at
first
reading,
but
we
are
the
the
two
options
we're
looking
at
with
deity
the
restriping
and
the
potential
reconfiguration
of
the
powder
house
intersection
at
whiskey
and
the
split
phase
traffic
signalization.
S
I
I
don't
have
a
definitive
answer.
I
I
know
jennifer
beal
is
here
and
she's
been
the
one.
That's
been
communicating
with
d.o.t
on
that.
If
she
would,
she
could
maybe
shed
some
light.
I
don't
think
it
would
be
in
if
it
if
we
couldn't
get
it
in
two
weeks.
I
think
we
would
hear
something
relatively
soon
good
evening.
Good.
AC
Evening,
everybody
council,
we
don't
have
a
definitive
answer,
because
we
can't
control
the
dot
process,
but
we
would
expect
that
we've
already
had
preliminary
conversations
with
them.
We've
talked
to
them
about
the
engineering
side
of
it
and
the
analysis,
so
we
would
hope
it
would
be
done
quickly.
Two
weeks
is
probably
a
little
too
close
too
tight
for
them,
but
we
would
expect
it
in
short
order,
and
they
know
this
is
a
priority,
and
so
it's
just
working
through
the
district
level,
which
is
which
are
based
in
orangeburg.
So.
AC
What
what
we're
doing
is
we're
doing?
We
will
look
at
all
the
different
analysis
and
we'll
make
sure
that
the
the
dot
looks
at
the
different
options
and
then
we'll
you
know
just
a
couple,
as
the
city
manager
pointed
out,
there's
a
couple
that
we're
looking
at
and
then
we
will
kind
of
see
what
what
can
be
what
can
be
installed
based
on
their
guidelines.
AC
F
E
S
And
one
thing
in
our
favor
too
is
they
do
look
at
the
cost
burden,
and
while
we
that
this
is
still
in
process,
relocate,
we've
discovered
and-
and
we
know,
relocating
utilities-
is
much
more
expensive
than
signalization
and
there's
a
reason.
If
you
noticed
when
the
intersection
was
improved
several
years
ago,
it's
kind
of
an
abrupt
tapering
right
there
to
the
right,
if
you're
coming
down
powder
house
towards
whiskey
road
and
the
reason
is
because
of
a
primary
reason-
was
to
avoid
having
to
relocate
a
lot
of
utilities
right.
AD
AD
Conversations
with
d.o.t
are
a
little
kind
of
difficult
in
the
sense
that,
with
the
coba
going
on
that
we
have
people
that
are
in
the
office
one
week
and
out
the
next
and
in
the
office
one
week
and
after
next.
So
in
order
to
do
this
in
in
in
two
weeks,
is
probably
almost
impossible,
but
I
would
say,
probably
within
a
month
we
would
have
some
preliminary
ideas
of
of
what
we
could
kind
of
compromise.
With
going
forward
that
that
doesn't
include
moving.
You
know,
we've
got
a
14
inch,
water
line
that
runs
down.
AD
AD
F
You
and
the
reason
that
I
wanted
to
hear
from
mike
is,
I
know,
firsthand
the
working
relationship
that
we
have
with
d.o.t,
based
on
the
experience
that
I
personally
witness,
and
if
there
is
something
that
can
be
worked
out
with
our
with
our
department.
I
know
that
our
team
will
do
their
best
to
work
something
out
that
will
help
with
the
citizens.
So
I
applaud
you
all
for
what
you
do
in
terms
of
trying
to
make
it
work
for
our
citizens.
A
So
I
just
want
to
encourage
staff
and
I'm
going
to
join
councilman
jaredo
in
calling
our
delegation
members
and
letting
them
know
a
timeline
so
that
maybe
their
calls
to
to
dot
might
might
help
you
jennifer
in
your
process
on
it.
If
this
passes
on
first
reading.
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
look
for
a
vote
on
first
reading
of
this
ordinance,
all
those
in
favor
of
approving
the
concept
planned
on
first
reading.
A
Please
raise
your
hand,
okay
and
that's
unanimous
and
we'll
we'll
look
for
those
conversations
and
obviously
peter
to
you
and
the
neighbors
we
would
with
councilman
jarrett
will
will
be
involved
in
in
talking
to
you
as
we
move
forward
to
that.
But
I
think
I
think
hopefully
this
will
be
a
process
that
makes
it
safer
for
everyone.
So
thank
you
and
thank
thank
everyone
in
the
neighborhood
for
being
for
being
here
tonight.
Also.
A
All
right
we're
going
to
move
on
down
our
agenda.
I
am
number
two
in
our
new
business.
This
is
a
resolution
approving
the
aiken
municipal
development
corporation,
downtown
redevelopment
plan
by
title
of
resolution,
adopting
redevelopment
plan
one
as
recommended
by
the
aiken
municipal
development
commission
and
matters
related.
There
too,
is
there
a
motion
all
right.
We
said
miss
price
made
the
motion.
S
Thank
you
mayor
as
part
of
the
charter
or
the
charge
of
our
municipal
development
corporation
that
was
formed
late
last
year.
The
south
carolina
code
requires
that
they
must
draft
and
present
to
city
council
for
approval
redevelopment
plan,
and
we
quote
verbatim
from
the
state
code
in
the
in
the
memo
and
the
area
that
is
selected
for
review
and
again
it's
a
very
modest
area
in
terms
of
geographic
size
or
acreage.
S
But
it's
something
an
area
that
I
think
most
everyone
would
agree,
is
a
proponent
of
our
downtown
and
it's
essentially
from
traveling
richland
avenue
west
from
lawrence
street
down
to
chesterfield
street
south
towards
park
avenue.
So
it's
roughly
two
blocks
from
east
to
west
and
one
block
from
north
to
south.
A
A
Any
comments,
questions
from
council
all
right
hearing,
none
all
those
in
favor
of
this
resolution.
Please
raise
your
hand
and
that's
unanimous.
Thank
you
tim
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
and
the
commissioners
are
doing
and
we're
very
excited
and
looking
looking
forward
to
good
things
coming,
so
we
appreciate
it.
A
Yes,
sir,
moving
down
new
business
item
number
three:
this
is
a
first
ring
of
an
ordinance
authorizing
economic
development
incentives
for
a
project
developed
by
woodford,
trace,
sc
llc
by
title
and
ordinance
authorizing
certain
economic
development
incentives
pursuant
to
ordinance
number
08132018
of
the
city
of
aitkin
code
of
ordinances,
for
a
project
developed
by
woodford,
trace,
scllc,
approving
an
economic
development,
inducement
and
incentive
agreement
and
other
matters
related.
There,
too,
is
there
a
motion.
S
From
staff
thank
you
tonight
we
do
have
this
proposed
ordinance
in
front
of
you.
We
have,
as
you
know,
we
have
an
incentive
ordinance
that
council
passed
about
two
years
ago
this
one
this
is
our
fifth
or
excuse
me,
our
fourth
one
before
council.
Since
the
inception
of
this
ordinance.
It
is
by
far
the
largest
in
terms
of
development
costs
when
just
for
comparison's
sake,
the
the
first
one
was
betsy's
and
their
incentive
was
based
was
one
percent
of
their
680
000
dollar
investment
that
was
eligible
for
reimbursement.
S
This
is
a
total
of
about
a
nine
point:
seven
million
dollar
investment
with
about
a
ninety
eight
thousand
dollar
incentive,
since
it
is
a
construction
project
similar
to
the
south
company
and
the
old
union,
building,
we're
only
recommending
that
the
incentive
be
for
one
year,
whereas
the
the
betsy's
one
if
they
meet
certain
benchmarks,
is
a
multi-year
and
it
is
significantly
larger
in
terms
of
the
incentive
amount.
But
again
it's
based
on
the
total
development
cost.
So
what
we've
started
doing?
S
The
commission,
there
are
nine
members
on
the
commission,
and
three
of
them
are
council
members,
and
I
believe
the
three
council
members
refused
themselves
from
this,
since
it
is
coming
to
council
along
those
lines.
If
I
may,
I
think
we
may
be
bringing
based
on
recommendations
from
the
commission
an
ordinance
to
revise
the
way
the
membership
is
composed
to
to
address
any
of
this.
S
Y
No,
I
think,
that's
wonderful,
I'm
glad
that
council
members
were
recused
from
that
vote.
That's
the
correct
thing
to
do,
I'm
obviously
in
favor
of
moving
forward
with
this,
and
I
appreciate
that
this
even
that
this
got
brought
to
commission's
attention.
So
I'm
sure
mr
o'brien
had
a
ton
to
do
with
that.
So
I
appreciate
that
for
sure
I
will
continue
to
state
that
I
think
the
structure
of
the
commission
needs
to
be
revisited,
and
I
do
not
believe
council
should
be
a
part
of
it.
Y
B
B
A
F
B
A
A
D
S
Thank
you.
We
do
have
this
applicant
pursuant
to
our
water
and
sewer
annexation
policy.
Two
to
nine
east
pinelog
road.
The
proposed
zoning
is
residential,
single
family
rs-10,
which
is
consistent
with
the
surrounding
properties.
The
planning
commission
reviewed
this
july
14th
and
all
present
voted
to
recommend
annexation
and
zoning
residential
single-family
10.
It
is
before
you
tonight
for
first
reading.
A
A
This
is
a
first
reading
of
an
ordinance
annex
point:
four:
zero
acres
owned
by
led
of
aiken
inc
located
in
the
intersection
of
park,
avenue
and
richland
avenue
and
zone
general
business
gb
by
title
and
ordinance,
and
next
to
the
corporate
limits
of
the
city
of
vacant,
certain
property
owned
by
lead
of
vacant
inc
and
located
at
the
intersection
of
park,
avenue
southeast
and
richland
avenue
and
has
owned
the
same
general
business.
Is
there
a
motion
all
right?
Thank
you,
councilman
jaredo!
Is
there
a
second?
Second
all
right?
Thank
you.
A
A
This
is
a
first
ring
of
an
ordinance
annex,
140.80
acres,
owned
by
aitkin
steeplechase
association,
located
on
old
wagner,
road
and
rudy
mason
parkway
zone,
the
property
planned
residential
pr
and
approve
a
concept
plan
and
by
title,
an
ordinance
to
annex
to
the
corporate
limits
of
the
city
of
a
can
certain
property
owned
by
the
aiken
steeplechase
association
and
located
the
intersection
of
old
wagner
road
and
rudy
mason
parkway
and
designed
the
same
planned
residential
pr
to
approve
a
concept
plan
sound
redundant.
Didn't
it
is
there
a
motion?
A
S
One
of
the
considerations
was
to
annex
the
property
into
the
city
and
we've
had
a
number
of
discussions
with
the
steeplechase
association
since
they
acquired
the
property
in
early
february
and
after
to
try
to
find
the
right
zoning
use
for
this
property
and
it
is
planned.
Residential
was
deemed
to
be
the
most
appropriate
based
on
the
use.
They
do
have
long
term
some
potential
commercial
options
for
some
frontage
property,
which
would
require,
of
course,
going
back
to
the
planning
commission
then
back
to
council
once
they
feel
like
that
is
important
or
appropriate.
S
Excuse
me,
the
planning
commission
has
reviewed
the
concept
plan
for
the
council
and
they've
recommend
approval
with
five
excuse
me.
Six
conditions
I'll
read
into
the
record
at
first
reading
that
additional
evergreen
plantings
be
installed
if
the
buffer
is
not
adequate
to
screen
use
from
adjacent
residential
properties,
that
a
jurisdictional
determination
by
the
united
states
army
corps
of
engineers
be
provided
by
the
developer
and
any
other
land
disturbance
permitting
by
d
heck.
S
In
addition,
a
minimum
of
20
percent
open
space
will
be
provided
minus
the
detention
pond
if
it
cannot
be
planted
with
trees
that
is
determined
by
the
planning
director.
A
single
ground
mounted
sign,
be
limited
to
75
square
feet
at
the
intersection
of
richland
avenue
and
old
wagner
road.
A
50
square
feet
at
the
intersection
of
old
wagner.
A
S
You
first,
this
is,
I
want
to
note
again
the
funding
that
our
accommodations
tax
committee
looks
at
is
state
accommodations
tax,
which
is
money
that
is
paid
to
the
state
and
then
sent
back
down
to
the
city,
and
it's
limited
on
how
we
use
this
money.
This
money
is
used
for
tourists
attracting
head
so-called
heads
on
beds,
so
advertising
more
than
50
miles
away.
S
These
various
groups
that
apply
of
course
covet
19
has
affected
a
number
of
events,
so
there
were
several
entities
that
did
not
spend
cancelled
events
or
did
not
host
of
or
were
unable
to
to
have
a
full-fledged
event.
So
what
we're
doing
is,
unlike
in
a
normal
circumstance
that,
where
money
that's
not
spent
ends
up
going
back
into
the
fund
to
be
awarded
in
the
next
award
cycle
here,
this
will
not
be
care.
S
Our
committee
members
appointed
by
council
feel
strongly
that
the
city
should
provide.
Excuse
me
promote
aiken
as
a
destination
within
a
two
to
three
hour
drive
and
as
a
destination
for
small
business
meetings
or
conferences.
So
we
recommend
that
the
forty
two
thousand
three
eighty
be
awarded
to
the
city
and
ada
per
the
recommendation
from
the
chair,
peggy
pendleton.
S
A
S
A
S
A
AA
A
AE
Jessica,
thank
you.
Yes,
the
committee
received
an
application,
a
grant
application
from
both
the
city
of
again
tourism
and
the
economic
development.
We
have
portions
of
that
application
with
us
tonight.
I
can
certainly
breathe
through
a
brief
description,
if
that
would
be
helpful
for
you,
but
I'm
welcome
to
provide
copies
of
that
application
in
which
the
committee
reviewed
and
made
their
recommendation
based
on
bear
with
me
I'll
flip
to
it.
AE
The
aiken
coven
19
recovery
campaign-
that's
through
the
economic
development
and
the
description
says
this
project
will
help
drive
commerce
in
the
form
of
shopping,
dining,
recreation
and
overnight
stays.
The
campaign
will
utilize
cross-device
targeting
by
leaking
multiple
device
activity
to
maximize
sequential
storytelling
and
kpis.
Using
data
in
this
way
makes
every
dollar
count.
Our
goal
is
to
increase
foot
traffic
as
quickly
as
possible,
so
they
can
begin
to
recover.
C
AE
Mary
rosbach
is
the
tourism
that
submitted
the
small
market
meeting
project
in
the
description
on
that
says,
top
tier
meeting
planners
from
qualified
readership
will
be
recruited
in
order
to
help
select
the
best
applicants
to
join
a
fam
tour
of
akin.
So
that's
your
like
your
travel
writers,
bringing
groups
in
to
then
promote
and
write
about
aiken.
This
exclusive
program
brings
up
to
15
qualified
meeting
planners
to
experience
the
best
of
the
destination,
so
they
can
bring
their
groups
back
for
future
meetings.
AE
This
offers
aiken
year-long
visibility
in
small
market
meeting
magazine
website
and
social
media
channels
accumulating
in
a
seven
to
eight
page
feature
article
highlighting
the
trip
that
will
run
in
an
issue
of
small
market
meeting
magazine,
that's
mailed
to
10
000,
meeting
planners
over
8
000
meeting
planners
that
receive
the
digital
edition
of
the
magazine
and
includes
print
and
digital
components.
That
will
provide
a
year-long
campaign
with
pioneer
publishing.
AE
AF
That
is
a
specific
plan,
and
this
came
to
economic
development,
because
someone
at
the
city
needed
to
make
the
application
and
it
couldn't
be
the
tourism
department.
It
was
really
a
good
partnership
that
we
worked
with
tourism
and
haley
of
aiken,
downtown
development
and
bandwagon
media,
and
we
evaluated
several
different
things.
AF
AF
AF
The
outdoor
activities
is
what
we
wanted
to
concentrate
on,
specifically
using
imagery
where
families
could
come
and
be
very
separate
from
others,
and
we
we
thought
of
several
iconic
things,
including
activities
in
our
parkways
in
our
parks
in
our
horse
district,
where
we
could
get
images
of
people
enjoying
their
family
time
greatly
separated
from
from
others.
We
didn't
want
to.
AF
AF
Well,
that
is
a
chicken
in
the
egg
question.
We
both
need
to
work
with
our
businesses,
which
we're
doing
to
encourage
them
to
to
do
their
best.
They
are
impacted
individually
by
some
health
concerns
and
and
just
concerns
about
the
pandemic,
but
hopefully
this
campaign
will
create
traffic
downtown.
That
will
convince
our
merchants
hey.
I
need
to
be
open
because
there's
foot
traffic
there.
AA
AF
Ada
was
participating.
Basically,
we
we
all
put
our
heads
together
and
took
a
situation
where
we'd
had
a
number
of
events
that
had
been
canceled
jessica
in
the
tourism
department,
said,
here's
a
problem
and
an
opportunity,
and
we
put
our
heads
together.
Instead
of
leaving
that
money
to
evaporate,
we
said:
how
can
we
apply
it
to
the
current
situation,
because
this
is
very
much.
You
know
an
on
the
field
call
to
say
these
events
aren't
happening.
AA
A
A
AG
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I'm
sure
all
you
realize
that
when
the
pandemic
hit
the
hotel,
restaurant
retail
business
suffered
a
tremendous
blow,
and
our
committee
met
a
couple
of
months
after
that
about
the
events
that
had
been
unfortunately
cancelled,
the
steeplechase,
the
masters
which
doesn't
receive
you
know
a
tax
money,
but
it
hurt
all
of
us
and
many
other.
You
know
the
u.s
equestrian
federation
outlawed
horseshoes
and
we
all
suffered
for
it.
So
members
of
our
committee.
AG
Some
operations
are
franchises
and
they
have
big
pots
of
money,
but
other
properties
like
the
wilcox
and
the
carriage
house
and
the
rose
hill.
And
you
know
people
like
us,
don't
have
those
kind
of
resources,
so
we
thought
that
the
city
could
be
the
clearinghouse,
so
to
speak
to
advertise
now
I
realize
that
there
is
a
segment
of
our
population
who
does
not
want
any
tourists
coming
in
here.
Okay,
I
get
that
and
we
are
fully
aware
of
the
dangers
of
this
virus.
AG
However,
there
are
opportunities
which,
unfortunately,
for
the
last
two
months
we
have
not
taken
advantage
of
because
of
various
budgetary
reasons,
etc.
I
know
as

hotelier
that
there's
opportunity
in
the
summertime
believe
it
or
not.
That's
when
we
all
really
are
hurting
to
attract
people
from
the
low
country
and
the
two
places
I
didn't
hear
tonight
were
hilton
head
and
beaufort.
AG

We
need
to
market
this
place
to
individuals,
couples
and
small
groups
who
are
not
a
danger
where
we
can
socially
distance.
They
can
go
to
hitchcock
woods
and
take
a
walk
in
the
woods
they
can
go
to
hopeland
gardens.
They
can
do
what
we
call
a
ecotourism,
so
unfortunately
we're
a
little
behind
the
eight
ball.

Thank
you.
Councilman
waltz
comments
from
staff.
S
Thank
you.
We
do
have
this
request
for
city
service,
for
the
proposed
convenience
store
just
north
of
I-20,
us-1
or
columbia,
highway,
north
and
the
city.
The
planning
commission
heard
this
proposal
at
their
july
14th
meeting
and
all
those
present
unanimously
recommended
that
the
city
services
be
placed.
S
Excuse
me
be
granted
to
this
pending
council
approval
with
the
following
conditions
that
the
agreement
on
the
provision
of
city
services
be
recorded
within
90
days
of
approval
by
council
at
the
rmc
office
that
the
property
be
annexed
as
soon
as
it
becomes
contiguous
and
that
the
appropriate
document
augmentation
be
found
within
90
days.
The
transfer
of
ownership
be
completed
within
90
days
of
approval
by
the
council
that
it
comply
with
our
tree
preservation
and
landscaping.
S
That
is
due
to
the
proximity
to
interstate
20
that
scdot
approval
for
the
access
drives
be
obtained
before
approval
of
the
site
and
landscape
plan,
and
that
an
inter-parcel
access,
easement
to
the
out
parcel
to
the
east,
be
provided
with
the
locations
shown
on
the
site
plan
that
a
traffic
study
be
approved
by
the
city
of
aiken
on-call
traffic,
engineer
prior
to
the
approval
of
the
site
and
landscape
plan,
and
that
the
engineer
for
the
city
approved
the
design
of
the
water
and
sewer
service.
That
is
before
you
tonight.
AB
I
believe
the
primary
issue
being
is
that
we
still
have
to
extend
sewer
across
and
that
provides
them
a
little
bit
of
uncertainty
on
their
timing.
They
want
to
make
sure
that
that
is
available,
I
believe,
by
the
time
they
start
to
close
their
deal
on
the
property.
So
they
ask
for
some
additional
time
larger
than
the
90
days
they
would
they
requested
specifically
a
year
that's
further
than
we
would
typically
go
on
that
generally.
AB
S
AD
Right
now
for
the
construction
of
the
sewer
line
boring
under
I-20,
getting
it
across
we're
looking
at
probably
the
first
of
september
to
start
so
we're
going
to
be
in
november.
By
the
time
we
get
that
project
complete
water's.
Already
there
there's
a
fire
hydrant
there,
so
we're
probably
looking
at
november.
AD
We're
thankful
for
with
the
with
the
contractor
being
low
as
he
was.
We
had
some
questions
and
some
comments
to
go
back
and
forth
with
we've
never
dealt
with
this
contractor
before,
but
all
the
indications
and
even
contractors
that
we
deal
with
now
recommended
this
contractor.
So
it
took
a
couple
extra
weeks
to
get
that
information
back.
That's
what
pushed
us
out.
S
Yes,
what
what
there
would
be
is
there
are
impact
fees
to
to
install
the
project
but
similar
to
the
similar
projects
we've
done
in
the
past.
There
would
be
an
additional
fee.
It
would
not
be
dollar
for
dollar,
because
this
is
an
economic.
I
mean
council's
been
very
clear
that
you
wanted
infrastructure
developed.
It
would
be
no
more
than
probably
25
percent
of
the
cost
of
the
the
bid
for
the
is
about
73
acres.
This
sewer
project
is
covering
and
the
bid
came
in
at
just
over
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars.
S
S
J
S
A
A
So
the
motion,
and
second
on
that
is
for
180
days,
not
the
90
days
on
items,
one
and
three
ryan
does
that
cover
us
on
everything?
Thank
you
with
those
changes
noted
all
those
in
favor.
Please
raise
your
and
that's
unanimous.
Thank
you
all
right

four.

Good
move,
all
right?
AC
S
S
The
city
engineer
approved
the
design
of
the
sewer
service

that
the
applicant
initiated

agreement
with
the
city.
The

number

This
is
an
approval
of
a
resolution
to
provide
water
and
sewer
services
to
property
located
on
university
lane
off
of
university
parkway
by
title
of
resolution
authorizing
the
provision
of
water
and
sanitary
sewer
utility
services
to
property
located
on
university
lane.
Is
there

A
S
Thank
you.
This
subdivision
university
estates.
We
have
received
a
request
for
water
and
sewer
service
for
a
development
across
university
lane
off
of
university
parkway.
It
would
include
12
town
homes
with
groupings
of
six
single-family
attached
dwellings,
and
we
did
receive
several
inquiries
from
interested
parties,
including
residents
regarding
any
restrictive
covenants
to
prohibit
the
proposed
use.
But
the
covenants
were
amended
in
2019
to
allow
town
homes
and
multi-family
developments
within
university
estates
and
that
development
dates
back
to
the
early
1970s.
M
J
I'm
speaking
tonight
on
behalf
of
12
homeowners
at
university
estates,
we
are
opposed
to
the
building
of
12
town
homes
on
lots
restricted
to
single
family
homes.
In
our
subdivision,
at
the
july
city
planning
meeting
I
and
several
others
spoke
making
known
our
opposition
to
utility
hookups
and
this
project.
J
J
J
J
J
We
want
the
name
of
the
judge
who
probated
the
amendment
to
our
covenants
and
to
see
that
judge's
signature
on
the
amendment.
The
planning
board
chairman,
absolutely
relied
on
that
amendment.
When
calling
for
the
vote,
the
board
ignored
the
voice
of
12
in
favor
of
three
because
they
accepted
that
document
as
real.
J
J
A
I
They
have
the
opportunity
to
benefit
from
their
ownings
of
this
property,
so
they
want
to
build
more
town,
homes,
apartments
and
my
question
is:
will
it
be
in
their
future
to
build
more
for
the
apostles
that
they
have
in
this
area?
They
have
at
least
40
parcels
of
this
area
that
we
live
in.
So
my
question
is:
are
they
willing
to?
Are
they
going
to
build
more
over
time
to
make
more
money,
and
that
is
very
concerning
to
me
and
my
family?
I
I
Know
it's
very
concerning
to
me
that
these
people
are
taking
this
opportunity
to
to
benefit,
but
not
looking
at
what
we
are
going
through.
You
know
we
are
a
small
community,
as
you
know,
but
we
like
it
that
way
and
for
these
people
to
come
in
and
just
see
our
opportunity
to
make
money.
It's
very
concerning
to
us
and
we
like
it,
how
it
is
we
had
no
intent
of
seeing
it
become
something
different
which
we
have
no
idea
what
it
will
be,
but
we
don't
look
at
it
as
being
beneficial
to
us.
I
B
I
B
AH
Name,
your
address,
I'm
elisa
sanders
p.
I
live
112
campanile
court.
The
townhomes
that
were
built
behind
were
built
out
of
covenant.
When
we've
learned
about
them
it
was
too
late,
and
so
the
developer
two
years
ago
attempted
to
build
town
homes
that
they're
requesting.
Now
we
found
out
about
it
and
we
went
to
the
planning
commission
office
and
it
was
stopped
because
our
covenant
specifically
said
our
homes
must
be
2200
square
feet,
and
so
they
they
stopped.
They
stopped
did
it.
AH
AH
It's
a
lot
of
dishonesty
going
on
and
you
hear
some
questions
and
the
reason
we're
asking
questions
about
what's
next
is
because
the
developer
that
was
here
in
july
chris,
we
asked
him
some
questions.
After
the
meeting
he
said
call
my
office
in
north
augusta,
and
I
will
have
the
ladies
schedule
appointment
with
you
all
to
tell
you
what's
going
on
I've
called
at
least
five
times
and
what
I'm
told
he's
not
in
the
office
he's
not
in
the
office.
AH
So
the
questions,
you
probably
think
we
should
know,
we
don't
know
because
they
haven't
taken
the
time
to
respect
us.
It's
very
disrespectful.
We
were
told
we're
coming
to
help
you
we're
not
helpless
beings.
We
are
home
owners,
we
don't.
We
hadn't
asked
for
help.
William
said
there
hasn't
been
any
buildings
in
decades.
I
built
my
husband,
my
late
husband,
and
I
we
built
our
home
in
2003..
AH
I
have
since
done
the
dishes.
I
have
a
four
bedroom
three
and
a
half
bath.
I
thought
about
selling.
When
I
heard
about
these
town
homes,
I
had
a
realtor
come
the
price
that
she
gave
me.
She
said
because
of
those
townhomes
it'll
be
much
lower.
Keep
in
mind
that
chris
said
oh,
when
we
build
these
town
homes,
we're
going
to
appreciate
your
home
value.
That's
disrespectful
because
we
know
that's
not
true.
There's
no
town
home
in
aitkin
that
will
appreciate
any
home.
AH
We
were
also
told
oh
we're
going
to
sell
them
as
individual
units.
We
don't
know
that
to
be
true.
His
house
looks
straight
into
the
field:
we're
not
talking
about
town
homes
down
the
road
around
the
bend.
We
are
talking
about
town
homes
right
on
our
property
line,
it's
my
property
and
then
there
will
be
the
town
homes,
so
we
are
asking
and
ultimately,
if
they
have
the
right
to
change,
they
have
the
right,
but
we're
asking
you
guys
to
hold
and
let
them
do
it
the
right
way.
AH
We
were
never
asked
to
come
to
any
meeting
to
say
we're
amending
the
covenants.
Never
if
you
look
at
in
your
packet,
you
will
see
those
of
us
who
disagree
with
the
changing.
I
mean
the
amendment.
I'm
sorry
disagree
with
the
building
of
the
town
homes
and
those
who
signed
the
new
covenant.
Our
signatures
are
not
on
that
covenant.
We
never
even
had
the
opportunity
out
of
respect.
AH
C
AH
AH
AH
The
majority
of
the
property
owners,
but
it's
also
we
are
all
supposed
to
know-
we
were
never
even
told
it
was
up
for
consideration.
We
were
totally
disregarded
which
they
would
have
because
we
stopped
them
from
building
two
years
ago,
so
they
chose
not
to
notify
us
about
the
changing
of
the
covenants.
Y
A
Y
Can
the
city
supersede
that
I
mean
you
know,
there's
like
there's
a
lot
of
vagueness
in
this
topic,
so
it
doesn't
seem
right
right,
but
I
don't
know
what
that
document
says.
So
I
guess
I
need
direction
in
that
because
I
was
when
I
went
through
this
I
was
I
was.
I
was
not
very
clear
and
you
guys
have
shed
a
lot
of
light.
But
again
I
still
not
clear
on
the
covenants.
A
D
Z
A
AB
AB
AH
AB
I
believe
this
would
be
a
change
in
land
use
is
why
so
we
we
would
have
permitted
city
water
to
the
subdivision
at
the
time
it
was
created
with
the
condition
of
single-family
residents,
because
they're
essentially
changing
to
a
denser
land
use.
That's
what
re
triggers
the
re-review
of
these
particular
lots
as
part
of
this
request.
C
Y
I
guess
my
another
question
I
have
is
by
supporting
this
resolution:
is
that
opening
the
gateway
for
everything
else
to
fall
into
place
and
all
that
or
is,
or
is
the
city,
water
and
sewer
already
tapped
in
and
and
and
we're
just
going
to
just
what
open
the
gates?
I
mean
I'm
trying
to
understand
this.
I'm
really
kind
of
confused
about
the
whole
thing,
because
it
is
county,
and
I
know
that
okay,
we
have
city
and
sewer
already
going
into
the
homes
in
this
residence.
AH
AI
A
probate
on
a
real
estate
document
is
where
the
notary
signs
to
approve
the
witnesses
actually
witnessed
the
signature
of
the
person
that
did
it.
It's
not
it's
not
taking
it
to
probate
court.
It's
a
it's
a
term
that
we
use
on
these
documents.
So
if
it
was
probated
that
means
that
it
was
notarized
okay,
and
so,
if
the
document
was
recorded
at
the
rmc
office,
then
it
met
the
requirements
of
being
recorded
at
the
rmc
office.
It
had
to
be
properly
witnessed,
it
had
to
be
notarized,
it
had
to
be
probated.
AI
They
had
to
give
them
the
proper
number
of
documents.
In
order
for
that
document
to
be
recorded,
there's
nobody
at
the
rmc
office
that
looks
at
that
document
before
they
record
it
to
make
a
determination
whether
or
not
that
amendment
was
passed
in
accordance
with
the
requirements
of
the
restrictive
covenants.
There's
no
independent
evaluation
done
to
determine
whether
or
not
that
was
a
proper
document.
AI
So
when
that
document
comes
to
the
city,
what
the
city
knows
is
is
they
have
a
certified
copy
of
a
document?
That's
been
recorded
at
the
rmc
office,
giving
notice
to
all
the
world
that
is
being
alleged
that
that
is
a
proper
document.
Okay,
the
city
is
not.
The
city
has
no
way
to
make
an
independent
evaluation
as
to
whether
or
not
that
is
a
proper
document.
AI
There's
only
one
way
you
can
challenge
the
properness
of
that
document
and
it
would
require
the
homeowners
in
that
neighborhood
to
follow
legal
action
in
the
court
of
common
pleas
to
have
a
judge
review.
Everything
hear
witness
testimony,
take
evidence
and
then
make
a
determination
as
to
whether
or
not
that
amendment
had
been
passed
in
accordance
with
the
proper
procedures
outlined
in
the
restrictive
covenants.
I
can't
do
that
on
my
own,
mr
biedenbaugh
can't
do
that.
C
AI
So
it
would
require
a
legal
process
in
order
for
that
to
be
a
challenge,
I
would
seriously
urge
the
neighborhood
if
they
really
are
concerned
about
the
validity
of
that
document,
to
seek
their
own
private
legal
counsel
to
get
the
advice
that
they
need
to
decide
what
path
they
should
take
going
forward.
If,
if
their
lawyer
is
able
to
help
them
understand
that
it
really
was
not
done
correctly,
they
may
very
well
be
able
to
stop
this
from
happening,
but
is
what
is
being
presented
to
the
city
tonight.
AI
It
appears
to
be
a
proper
document
that
was
presented
to
the
planning,
commission
and
the
city
council,
and
so
the
city
council
has
to
address
the
request
on
its
face
as
to
whether
or
not
you
think
it
would
be
appropriate
to
provide
those
services
to
that
organization.
Given
the
conditions
that
planning
commission
has
recommended
you
put
on.

Good
evening,
mr
mayor
city,
council
members,
I'm
william
brantley,
2202,
gadsden
street
columbia,
south
carolina,
I
didn't
know
the
process
here,
I'm
still
recovering
from
cataract
surgery.
Some
of
y'all
may
remember
having
a
little
difficulty
last
time,
but
I'm
not
thank
you
for
letting
me
take
this
off,
so
I
could
speak
with
the
glasses
and
the
cataract
surgery.
AJ
I
couldn't
read
couldn't
see
very
well
last
time,
but
here
I
am
again
so
I
submitted
another
set
of
comments
to
the
record
which
you
have,
which
is
basically
the
same
as
the
comments
that
are
submitted
to
the
planning
committee.
Previously,
I
made
a
change
here
there,
but
I'm
probably
the
oldest.
Now
I
won't
read
unless
I
get
lost
and
I
have
to
refer
to
my
comments
to
you,
but
basically
I
think
I
am
the
oldest
property
owner
in
university
of
states.
AJ
I
my
roots
are
graniteville
and
gene
williams,
at
cetera
the
williams,
clan
and
williams
family
is
very
large.
Family
and
gene
williams
was
a
very
successful
man
and
he
convinced
me
to
to
buy
into
his
dream
cost
me
a
lot
of
money
at
the
time.
This
was
44
plus
years
ago
that
I
bought
my
first
property
there,
which
is
the
one
that's
adjacent
to
the
last,
and
it's
the
only
property
I
now
have.
AJ
I
had
more
at
one
time
I
bought
at
auction
after
he
passed
away,
but
I've
since
sold
those,
but
I
still
own
the
one,
that's
adjacent
to
one
of
the
parcels
there,
the
one
I'm
pointing
it's,
the
one
next
to
the
blue
across
the
road
there,
I'm
to
the
right
of
that.
That's
my
property,
that's
the
one
I
bought
44
plus
years
ago.
AJ
AJ
One
of
the
first
buyers,
if
not
the
first
buyer
in
university
states,
I
know
what
he
wanted.
He
wanted
a
nice,
vibrant
exclusive
type
development.
That's
why
he
insisted
on
2
200
square
feet.
I
pushed
back
at
the
time.
I
said
gene
you
know:
that's
pretty
good-sized
home.
This
is
back
in
the
70s.
Now,
okay
in
the
70s,
that
it
wasn't
all
that
big!

It's
because
when
the
sewer
was
there,
we
went
through
a
similar
process
to
this
for
public
services,
and
at
that
time
it
was
assumed
that
it
was
going
to
be
for
single
family
development
and,
in
our
policies
related
to
public
service
provision
to
pro
to
properties
outside
the
city
limits.
If
there
is
a
change
in
density
or
significant
change
in
use
change
in
demand,
essentially
it
triggers
re-review
of
that
process.

E
Wasn't
on
council,
you
weren't
on
council
this
in
the
past
that
things
have
come
up.
The
hotel
on
the
south
side
always
comes
up
of
well,
we
don't
think
it
ought
to
be
a
hotel,
we
didn't
provide
them
with
services
and
they
went
got
services
elsewhere
and
that's
always
the
case
they
can
it's
in
the
county.
The
county.
All
we're
being
asked
to
do
is
whether
we're
going
to
provide
water
and
sewer
right.
D
E
We
can't
say
you
can't
develop
it.
You
can't
do
this
that
that's
up
to
the
county,
and
I
agree
with
mr
smith
that
if
they
have
pro-
and
I
appreciate
what
they're
saying
and
they
don't
like
it-
and
they
should
hire
an
attorney
and
fight
the
thing,
if
that's
what
they
want
to
do,
but
that's
not
up
to
us
to
decide
that.
A
A
K
When
I
moved
there-
and
I
I
know
you
you
guys
are
saying
the
only
thing
you
all
are
here
are
to
decide
whether
to
give
service
or
not
and-
and
the
question
came
about
about
how
how
valid
that
request
that
was
put
into
the
rmc
office.
Yes-
and
I
I
don't,
I'm
I'm
I'm
kind
of
confused,
maybe
you
can
kind
of
help
me.
K
I
keep
hearing
one
thing
keep
coming
up
as
long
as
it's
hold
up
the
trees,
something
about
the
trees.
What
was
that
the
trees
and
the
landscape
keep
coming
up
and
if
they
stay
within
a
certain
thing,
and
then
I
wonder,
I
wonder
I
know
the
city
wants
money,
but
it's
like
to
me.
It
feels
like
at
what
cost?
K
That's
just
that's
just
me,
I'm
learning
it
feels
like
at
what
cost
you
know.
If,
if,
if
I
understand
you
wasn't
there
when
this
paper
was
given,
but
you
have
the
majority
and
the
wording
did
say,
and
he
said
it,
the
exact
wording
says
majority
of
property
owners.
It
did
not
say
the
owner
of
the
majority
of
property.
K
K
You
know
and
it's
a
shame
that
the
property
hadn't
had
nothing
done
to
it
ashamed
to
who
the
people
who
actually
live
there.
We
live
there
and
I
don't
understand
the
push.
What's
the
rush,
what
I'm
in
and
you're
saying
we
can
go
to
attorney
but
in
other
words,
they're
going
to
still
be
doing
and
moving
on.
So
where
does
that
put
us
miss.
D
Tyler,
I
think
what
what
we're
saying
is.
The
only
thing
they're
asking
us
for
is
water
and
sanitary,
civil
utility
services
that
we-
because
this
is
in
the
county-
we
don't
have
the
authority,
and
this
is
a
legal
issue.
We
don't
have
the
authority
to
make
any
other
decisions
other
than
this
on
this
that's
on
our
agenda
tonight.
D
This
is
a
legal
issue.
That's
what
our
city
attorney
was
telling
you,
so
it
would
be
something
that
you
and
the
rest
of
the
homeowners
need
to
consider
is
to
meet
with
an
attorney
and
talk
to
him,
since
you
are
have
some
belief
that
the
paper
or
the
covenants
that
was
done
was
not
done
right
and
that
you
guys
were
disrespected.
D
He
was
saying
this
is
something
that
you
need
to
come
together
as
homeowners
and
speak
with
an
attorney
about,
but
tonight
the
only
thing
they're
asking
us
is
for
the
water
and
sewer
and
later
on,
when
they
get
ready
to
develop,
to
put
the
townhouses
that'll
all
be
a
county
issue,
not
a
city
issue.
That's
what
we
are
saying.
A
F
I
understand
what
some
of
you
are
saying
because
you're
at
this
juncture
right
now
and
you're
wondering
if
this
move
forward
tonight
on
the
exact
issue
that
we're
voting
on
what
happens.
Have
you
lost
control
because
of
our
decision
and
that
I
don't
know
whether
you've
talked
to
county
council
or
not,
or
that
you
have
even
came
together
and
talked
about
an
attorney
that
you
can
afford.
I
don't
know
how
that's
all
done,
but
something
has
to
take
place
beyond
just
thinking
that
we
can
not
do
our
job
legally.
F
Do
our
job
based
on
assumptions-
and
I
understand
too,
that
you
felt
that
you
were
betrayed
by
someone.
You
don't
know
what
to
believe
at
this
point
who's
saying
what
and
while
we're
not
judges
on
that
there's
something
that
has
to
take
place
with
you
all
too,
with
taking
some
legal
action
and
and
seeing
what
you
can
do
in
terms
of
the
legal
action
that
she
would
pursue.

In
our
yard,
there
is
a
sewer
line
that
we've
tried
to
continuously
cover
that
hole
up
which
runs
out
into
the
road
on
camper.
Now,
and
my
concern
would
be
that,
if
they're
wanting
that
extension,
how
would
that
affect
us
as
far
as
the
water
rolling
back
up
into
our
yard,
because
it's
actually
in
our
front
yard,.
AD
AK
K
D
D
H
Y
Mayor,
may
I
ask
a
question:
I
think
that
mrs
butler's
point
opens
up
a
whole
nother
situation.
That
brings
it
completely
back
to
the
resolution
and
what
we're
trying
to
approve-
and
I
think
because
of
that
and
engineering,
and
that's
not
really
knowing
what's
going
on
in
her
yard-
gives
it
a
valid
reason
for
us
to
maybe.
A
A
A
A
What
they
can
I
mean
from
what
I
understand
from
our
attorney
and
ordinarily.
I
know
we
don't
recognize
covenants,
because
it's
a
civil,
so
I
mean
I
don't
know,
but
we
can
certainly
find
out
more
and
at
least
get
those
documents,
so
we
can
see.
Certainly
but
anyway,
we
so
we've
tabled
it
and
I'm
sure
staff
will
be
in
touch.
So
yes
or
no
I'll
speak
with
you
after
the
meeting,
sir.
A
AA
D
AC
S
A
A
S
AB
So
the
design
review
board
received
a
an
inquiry
from
a
local
downtown
business
owner
regarding
the
status
of
the
hotel,
aiken
and
the
possibility
of
use
of
the
demolition
by
neglect,
provision
or
prevention
of
demolition
by
neglect
division
in
the
zoning
ordinance.
That
is
a
tool
that
the
design
review
board
can
use
to
prevent
deterioration
of
historic
structures.
AB
AB
AB
AB
At
the
same
time,
at
the
next
meeting,
the
board
requested
a
written
response
from
historic
hospitality.
As
far
as
what's
been
going
on
thus
far
and
the
status
of
their
plans
at
the
meeting,
it
was
said
that
the
plans
were
very
close
to
being
able
to
be
submitted.
So
the
drb
asked
that
in
in
90
days,
so
essentially
two
meetings
away
that
something
be
presented
either
architecturally
or
conceptually.
So
they
could.
They.
They
came
to
a
work
session
store
cost
beside.
AB
They
came
to
a
work
session
around
two
two
and
a
half
years
ago
to
update
the
the
drb
on
what
their
plans
were.
They
wanted
an
update
of
that
to
know
what
the
moving
parts
have
been
in
this
in
the
meantime,
with
the
assumption
that,
if
it
were
to
move
forward,
the
board
would
have
to
review
it
anyway
and
it's
best
to
keep
them
updated
informally
through
the
work
session
process.
AB
If
the
board
were
to
be
unsatisfied
and
to
find
that
there
are
certain
conditions
that
need
to
be
addressed,
that
are
historic
elements
that
are
failing
of
the
property
that
need
to
be
established
and
preserved.
Then
they
would
have
the
opportunity
to
put
that
on
a
regular
meeting
and
if
they
were
to
issue
a
finding.
S
And
this
does
not
come
to
city
council.
The
design
review
board
is
the
final
arbitrary
within
the
city
for
this,
and
it
only
does
apply
to
the
hotel,
aiken
piece
of
the
property
complex
of
the
physical
plan.
It
doesn't
apply
to
the
motor
court
or
the
building
that
runs
from
b
lane
east
to
richland.
Excuse
me
to
newbury.
A
S
I
had
another
report.
The
you've
probably
received
a
queer
inquiries
from
residents.
Excuse
me
from
customers
in
our
fire
district
that
are
not
on
city
water.
I
just
wanted
to
provide
some
perspective
staff.
Over
the
last
year,
we've
been
working
very
hard
to
identify
parcels
that
have
not
been
paying
for
fire
protection,
but
are
within
our
fire
limits
and
along
those
lines.
S
Earlier
this
year,
back
in
may
and
june,
council
approved
charging
all
fire
customers
based
on
the
value
of
their
structure,
independent
of
if
they've
been
connected
to
city
water,
so,
for
example,
prior
to
prior
to
this
folks
that
are
on
city
water,
but
not
in
the
city.
A
residential
property
owner
was
paying
41
a
month
for
fire
protection
that
increased
modestly
to
45.
S
S
S
S
Right,
the
thank
you
45
is
the
maximum.
It
is
based
on
the
value
of
the
property,
but
I
did
want
to
report
one
other
thing.
Two
weeks
ago
I
shared
with
you
the
petition
that
was
received
about
council
considering
banning
smoking
in
the
alley
area,
and
we've
received
that
obviously
as
information.
I
think
at
this
time,
unless
council
directs
staff,
otherwise
we
were
going
to
receive
it
as
information.
A
Y
Y
S
That
is
correct
that
individual
she
only
gets
fire
and
and
there's
individual.
Those
are
the
what
we
call
the
suburban
that
are
not
on
city,
water
or
sewer,
but
within
our
fire
district,
because,
as
we
know,
the
city
limits
are
not
the
same
as
the
fire
district,
which
is
not
the
same
as
our
water
district
boundaries.
Y
And
in
her
case,
she
would
be
paying
540
a
year
which
is
more
than
what
city
taxes
would
would
encompass.
So
it
doesn't
really
make
sense
to
me,
and
she
really
does
plead
a
very
good
case,
and
so
I
I
would
like
for
staff
to
bring
to
council
how
many
people
fall
into
that
category,
that
miss
ivy
is
in
and
and
how
much.
Y
That
is
how
much
total
money
does
that
encompass
and
maybe,
if
we
can
revisit
it
and
see
about
options
to
addressing
her
fire
fees,
because
she's
in
the
county
get
zero
services
and
she's
paying
a
significant
amount
of
money.
So
it
just
doesn't
really
make
sense.
If
we
can
just
revisit
that.
That
would
be
great.
S
Y
B
S
A
M
Y
Y
But
I
just
want
to
revisit
if
we
can
just
revisit
I'd
just
like
to
know
how
many
people
fall
into
that
category,
that
takes
that
have
zero
services
from
the
city,
but
pay
that
max
rate
and
how
much
how
much
money
that
is
actually
attached
to
and
if
there's
an
adjustment
that
can
be
made
and
we
still
have
to
make
up
for
it.
So
how
do
we?
How
would
we
compensate
for
that?
So
it's
just
questions.
S
Build
and-
and
I
want
to
emphasize,
though
these
individual-
these
parcels
that
have
not
been
built
before,
due
to
the
the
good
work
of
our
staff
in
finding
these
parcels
we're
not
going
to
retroactively
bill
anyone
I
mean.
Basically,
it's
just
started
july
1st.
I
spoke
to
a
individual
in
aitkin
estates
that
purchased
a
home
in
2016..
S
B
And
I
think
said
that
it
did
not
make
that
much
difference,
because
but
stewart
was
really
great
in
working
with
her,
but
she
went
down
the
list.
You
know
she
checked
and
didn't
make
that
much
difference
in
her
fire
protection
she's
paying
more
than
she
would
if
she
were
in
the
city,
you're
kind
of,
like
you
said
at
a
loss
to
what
to
say
to
this
person
because
yeah,
you
know.
